Disability & Stigma Awareness.
How many people do you come across in your day that really rub you up the wrong way? Let me tell you about them: those thoughtless types that ket a kick out of scorning disabled people💢.
“There is no greater disability in society than the inability to see a person as more.”
There are far too many people living in our world today that use such a quote, to make up their excuse to stigmatize others that they cannot see a person beyong their physical or mental disability, through fear of the unknown and, a severe lack of what a disability truly is.
The opening image of the disabled parking space is a prime example of the neglect and, those who simply prefer to ‘turn a blind eye,’ toward the disabled people they come across in their lives.
Those able-bodied amongst us would rather stigmatize, insult, ‘take the mickey,’ by ridiculing, teasing and, mocking the disabled amonst them,
Why?
Purely as a result of the lack of education that is still absent today in our world surrounding what disability is.
